Is there a way to control Blender's GUI remotely?
The latest version of MobaXterm works great with Blender! I just had to check the "Hardware OpenGL acceleration" in order to make it work (under "Settings" --> "Configuration" --> "X11" tab.

I started a SSH connection with compression enabled in order to lower bandwidth usage and started Blender which now works correctly.

I am running the latest free version of MobaXterm from http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net and my Windows computer has a nVidia Geforce GT640 with the latest nVidia drivers.

I hope this helps!
